My wife is taking a comparative religions class and one of her reading
assignments is _Kalki_ by Gore Vidal using Hinduism as a basis. One
of
the words used several times in the book is *pranam* as on p. 168,
"Then he made the pranam sign and sat cross-legged..." Our western
dictionaries have no reference to this word. Can you help us?
TIA
